"How to Leave Facebook" Poster, March 2018

01

Artifact Overview

Jeremy Deller's poster provides instructions on how to delete a Facebook account--a reaction stemming from the Cambridge Analytica privacy breach scandal. Wariness toward social media was growing due to its pervasiveness, privacy issues, targeted advertising, and people's desire to increase non-digital social interaction. The "Millennial Pink" background references the generation most associated with the rise of social media platforms.
